Services
--------
The server-side software available on EmbassyOS are referred to as "Services." It's important to distinguish the difference between *services* and *applications*. Applications are generally *client-side*. This means that they are either standalone software, or they reach out to a server in order to operate. Services are *server-side*. These generally run 24/7, waiting for commands from a user via an application.

-----------------------
A User Interface, or UI, is as the name suggests, the way in which the user interacts with some software, typically in our context it will be a graphical interface (GUI). A WebUI is basically a website that is served (often by your Embassy) specifically for a user to issue commands or view data. A great example of this is EmbassyOS itself, which serves a WebUI for the user to add/remove services, make configurations, etc. This is your main point of contact with EOS.
